The First Ice Age, as it was known by the time of the Second Ice Age, (TV: The Ice Warriors) was a period notable for its widespread glaciers. (TV: In the Forest of the Night) Neanderthals (AUDIO: The Exxilons) and humans both lived during this Ice Age, as did Mammoths (TV: In the Forest of the Night)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In the real world this Ice Age was by no means the first, and is referring to the Last Glacial Period, which is the latest in a long line of "ice ages". Glacial periods are cyclical, and occurred consistently throughout the Quaternary Glaciation. Outside of that, an early hypothesised "ice age" in Earth's history was the Snowball Earth.
